As they come to be talked about more and more, you'll come to understand them. They are best when used for predicting long-term trends. They, just like almost every other hockey stat, are terrible for predicting who will win a particular game, but over the long-term of an entire season, or multiple seasons, these new stats seem to be good at predicting success.
Think about all the people who 10-15 years ago hated the idea of "Wins-Above-Replacement" in baseball or "DVOA" in Football, but those have gained pretty universal acceptance.
It will take time, but it's worth following along with the stats.
